ok tips for overtired baby

Ok just posted before about my son being happy then start screaming without warning. If this is him being overtired how do you get a screaming baby to just sleep? I know nursing helps but if I just nursed and I really want him to learn to just fall Asleep in my arms or with paci ... At Christmas I really don't want to have to leave the room to try and nurse to sleep , though I will if needed ... I just wish he was able to calm and just fall asleep in my arms but he just starts screaming and it takes forever to get him to sleep with paci or rocking ... I hate hearing him cry. And again I guess I can try to catch it before he gets tired but its hard when he's smiling and happy the instantly cries:(

I should say this is during the day , I could swaddle but it feels like I would need to do that often to get him to nap and say at Christmas I don't want to get my swaddle me out to get him to nap but maybe that's all that works but even then I need to get gripe water to calm

I just trained LO with the paci recently. Just shoved it in her mouth when she was fussing and kept wiggling it around. After a few min she fell asleep. Now when she's overtired and cranky I can pop it in her mouth and she goes down super fast.

I usually hold him on my hip kind of (or in the moby) and walk around quietly and he usually calms down after a couple min and I can get him to sleep... But this just started working the last week or so, I swear his preferences change every week lol

Do you have an exercise ball... I read on here a while back that babies live to bounce on it. Since about 4 weeks I have been holding dd and bouncing to calm her. Now if we can't get her to sleep and she's fussing it is sure to work. We also put a blanket up to her face... Seems sketchy but she started nuzzling in our clothes whenever she was tired so we figured she liked to get cozy that way. Now we put her down (swing, stroller, bouncer,etc) and put a blanket next to her face and she's out in a few seconds. I only do it for naps though and only when I'm nearby to make sure she can still breathe.

When my LO gets like that I crank the white noise on my phone and it calms him right down, then he will either take the paci and fall asleep or just go straight to sleep. Sometimes I hold his hands and that seems to help too

I hate when my dd does that. Something that works with her (usually) is holding her upright against my chest and shhhhing really load in her ear while pacing the room. She likes the room to be really dark too.

Putting lo in the baby bjorn usually works right away. I drape a blanky over her so she can't look around (but can still breathe, obviously) and hold the pacifier in. Something about being that close to me and supported instantly calms her.
